Usually would get to bed anywhere around midnight - 3am. But the past several months it's been worse then usual. I'm now up till 6-10 am sometimes..
I do have other things that keep up most nights. Like medical conditions and what not. But even on nights where I'm not in much...

and I can't even focus on my studies bc I've been getting an hour of sleep per night, sometimes I wouldn't even sleep at all. It's not that I'm not tired, I am, I'm exhausted. I just can't bring myself to sleep.

for no reason.. My body just said NOPE! No sleep for you -.-
In high school that was sort of acceptable, I could deal with that...
But the fact that I have a uni class tomorrow is not acceptable... I need sleep.. And I only went to bed at like 11:30... 5.5hrs of sleep is not...

if you ignore it. I drank more and continued my mantra. 'Stop thinking', swig, 'empty your head', swig, 'now, seriously empty your head.”
― Gillian Flynn, Gone Girl
Seriously. I think if we could empty our heads we would all be sleeping like babies. Swigging does help ;)

doctors have no idea how to help me. It takes 4 benadryl to knock me out. Otherwise nothing else works. I don't get a lot of sleep haha and I've gotten used to it now, and the times I do sleep are actually really nice

and it's to the point where I'm just tired, irritable and plain out exhausted. I wish I could just slide in bed and fall soundly asleep. I'm also in agony. I hurt all over I don't even know where the pain is steaming from to say the least (thanks to AS). I pray for a night of...

since early childhood, plagued with nightmares... I do not know if it's from past sexual abuse or from something else entirely. I've slept the best next to my soon to be husband, but lately I find myself tossing and turning. I didn't sleep at all last night... I'm keeping him...

DONT
No sugar / alcholic drinks after dinner
No phone / tablet / computer since one hour before sleep.

~1h before sleep: tisane without sugar with a blend of herbs for sleeping aid (e.g. chamomile, melissa, passionflower, ..)
At evening, adjust the lights. They should be...

Slept for only about an hour or less. Continuously kept waking out of short bursts of sleep. Gave up trying about 6 hours later. Feel like rubbish. I never have uninterrupted or full sleep. I want to try again but what point is that...my mother is already angry at me over it...

I have gone the last two days without sleep I do everything that is recommended and yet I cant seem to fall asleep. (It is just another proof that my body is trying to kill me. If I don't some sleep soon I will lose my frigging mind. HELP ME!

Fear is my old nemesis. He is always there. Making sure that I never get comfortable. With no comfort, comes no sleep. Ensuring that his reign never ends. I've no arsenal for this worthy foe, as my weapons have been taken from me.
The Kings Brew has become a glancing party in...

if I am lucky. Last night and today after a conversation, I kept falling asleep, I world have terrible dreams abt people whom I truly love and cherish and terrible weird things happening. After each person I would wake up, another would start. Different person different...

why I stay up late at night.
But now I do, thanks to the gruesome images and videos of some deaths that I have watched which were caused by war, differences of political views and religious beliefs.
I have a job that exposes me to blood and gore stuff. And I can sleep soundly...

I used to feel like I was held down to the bed, and if I didn't sleep, I would go insane. But how much more insane could I go? Not much, so I'll just let my mind wander and find myself getting lost in the strangest activities at this time of night.

For as long as I can remember, I was a night owl by nature. I felt completely nocturnal, begging to stay up all night from a very young age.
Through school years, it only progressed. Each year I would suffer when the new school year started, needing to conform to the...
